Hi guys trawled the D.I.Y sections and havent had any joy finding any info on my issue pinch.gif

Basically my air con is cold 95% of the time but occasionally just stops going cold and its a PITA.

So ive done the self diagnosis with the climate control and the code 25 has come up which is the sunload sensor near the windscreen apparently

Just wondering if its a big job replacing it and where a new 1 can be purchased?

Id appreciate if any of you fine gentlemen in here can give me some advice on how to replace it or reccommend somebody in sydney who knows there shyte :thanks:

Cheers

Mick

I hope you didnt do the test while inside a garage or under shade, that will trigger the sunload sensor warning.

Yes make sure you didnt do this lol

But if you need to replace it, you pop the LHS demister vent (or maybe its the right you can kinda see it anyway) out and unplug the sensor. Not sure where to go from there but should be easy enough with that out of the car and in front of you

The sensor is definetly part of one of the clip in vents that sits in the front of your main dash just before the bottom of the windscreen

Most likely the servo door actuator, very common problem where the cold solder joints in the plug crack from old age/vibration. It will sit there not receiving power on the last selected setting, sometimes a bump in the road etc might momentarily complete the electrical connection and the door will change position.

Behind the radio, that area. there will be a white rod attached to the servo door actuator (which lets cold or hot air depending on position), best to find it from the passenger side.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
